Practice management & economics
In short: The amount of client work a team can complete in a period, given available chargeable hours.
Capacity planning compares committed work — recurring compliance jobs with known deadlines — against available hours per person, month by month.
Most practices are not short of capacity overall; they are short of it in January and around quarter ends, which is a scheduling problem rather than a hiring one.
Knowing capacity before busy season is what makes it possible to move work earlier instead of working later.

Start with the workflows that cause the most chasing, then bring leads, AML, proposals and clients into the same calm operating system.
In a growing practice, the partner can no longer hold every job in their head. Clear ownership and visible workload are what stop deadlines slipping when someone is on leave, busy or new.
Every client and task has a named person, so nothing sits unassigned and clients get consistent answers.
Seeing tasks per person helps managers move work before one person is overloaded and another is waiting.
When work, notes and history live in one system, a colleague can pick up a job without starting from scratch.
Roles and permissions keep sensitive client and AML data visible only to people who need it.
